Alec,
It could be your drivers, and it could be the "auto-cofigure' feature of
the trackpoint freaking out. The trackpoint often takes off on a little
journey, but for me, only moves about an inch, then stops. I beleive it
is reconfiguring.
At one point, it started doing EXACTLY what you mentioned, only I
couldn't get it to stay down.....eventualy had to have the service tech
come replace the eyboard, which they did no sight in less than 24 hours time!
